“Trending rumour mill on Obi Cubana abandoning the City Boys Movement and disconnecting from President Tinubu Campaign has had the duo of CP and Obi engrossed in continuous denials and confusion”
The controversy erupted after several online platforms alleged that the socialite quietly removed photos, videos, banners and promotional materials connected to the pro-Tinubu political movement from his verified social media accounts.
Nigerian businessman and nightlife entrepreneur, Obinna Iyiegbu, has dismissed widespread rumours suggesting he abandoned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s “City Boy Movement” after reports claimed he deleted all related posts from his Instagram page.
The controversy erupted after several online platforms alleged that the socialite quietly removed photos, videos, banners and promotional materials connected to the pro-Tinubu political movement from his verified social media accounts.
The reports quickly triggered heated reactions across social media, with many Nigerians speculating that the businessman may have distanced himself from the movement following mounting criticism over the country’s economic hardship and insecurity.
Obi Cubana, who was previously unveiled as a South-East coordinator of the City Boy Movement, had faced backlash from some sections of the public over his visible support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
However, in a fresh twist, the businessman publicly denied abandoning the movement.
Reacting through his Instagram story, Obi Cubana declared: “City Boy for life… no leave, no transfer,” reaffirming his loyalty to the political group.
According to checks referenced by Pulse, his Instagram posts were still visible, contradicting claims that he completely wiped his page clean of City Boy Movement content.
The development has continued to generate mixed reactions online, with supporters praising his consistency while critics questioned the continued association of celebrities and influential businessmen with political movements amid Nigeria’s current socio-economic challenges.
The City Boy Movement is a youth-focused political advocacy platform created to support President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda through grassroots mobilisation, empowerment programmes and civic engagement activities across the country.
